The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow)

Lyrics

In your white lace and your wedding bells
 You look the picture of contented new wealth
 But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
 I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
 For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
 The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
 When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
 Out of grey skies to change my misery
 The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
 But now I watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room
 For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
 The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
 ♪
 Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
 Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
 The dying spark, you left your mark on me
 The promise of your kiss, but with someone else
 For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
 The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill!
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
 The bitterest pill is mine to take
 If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
